The last of this Fisheye Weekend

The last of this Fisheye Weekend · 06:39 AM

Well here are the last of the Fisheye shots from the weekend. Weather is suppose take a turn for the worst this week , so outside shoots may be far and few between.

The Armoury - date up top says 1911 - grafitti on the door a little newer I think -I cloned out a loading zone sign and the head of small boy on the bottom left- tough to get isolation with 180 degree view !

A mural on a building that really stands out, I think. It is huge and very colorful. It depicts a simplier time in the area

I should have metioned in the other posts almost all are at the wide end 10mm where the fisheye effect is much more noticible. At 17mm much less so. I hope next to get some inside shots downtown perhaps. Hope you enjoy.

Some problems with the fisheye...

G M Fude · 01-27-2008, 05:03 PM

Ha ha, you've nailed it, SpecialK! We've probably all got photos of our own anatomy with the fisheye (Note to self: Do not use DA 10-17 while naked

)

I love that mural shot, Dave, the fisheye works so well on that. Nice to see the vandals haven't tagged it, unlike the door on that beautiful hundred-year-old armoury building. Anti-social morons.

Thanks Steve - yeah vandalism sucks I am sure that door gets painted yearly. And the mural is very colorful and Huge !! must of taken a long time.

Cool shots again with the new toy Dave. Looks like you might be in line for some software that de-fishes the shot a bit. I know paint.net (freeware) does but it seems a bit rough. I wonder if anyone has any recommendations.

Thanks Peter - I may look into that - although depending on the photo and lines at 17mm the fisheye effect is much less pronouced and I do have the 12-24 (although I think the 10-17 at 17mm has a wider view than the 12-24 at 12mm)

roentarre · 01-27-2008, 08:10 PM

You did well paying attention to all the corners. If legs are included within the frame, just crop it out. Hehe

Thanks James I actually paid attention to that through the viewfinder (the K20D feature of preview and keep would come in handy with the Fisheye!). I missed the bottom right a bit but close

You may have already seen this side-by-side comparison of the fisheye vs the 12-24 over the common lengths, but maybe not...

Thanks SpecialK I stand corrected at same focal length the DA10-17 is wider than the DA 12-24. And Yeah I remember looking at those pictures in one of your other posts as well. A great comparision thanks!

Oh, come on Dave, for the sake of the art! What's a bit of frostbite!

Very interesting photos. Really like how you captured that mural.
